http://www.northjersey.com/sports/A...ecision_over_hobbled_Chambers.html?c=y&page=1 Another ringside report,this time from northjersey.com again, no mention of controversy. He does mention that Adamek doesn't do as well as you might expect against a one-handed opponent. Compare some of these to what was coming form ringside for the Pac-Bradley fight. In contrast, some of the guys watching it on TV and then doing a write up for their website are screaming robbery.
Lots of people who weren't there seem to. The "police" for the judges, the ringside reporters and fight people, seem to think the judges did a fine job and got it right/it was close enough that it could be justified. We all know that one card is BS.
aggression only counts when it's effective when you only land at 13% it's not effective!!!! when you land at 13% and the other guys lands at 33%, even if you land the same amount of punches landed the guy at 33% usually deserves the win!!! but in this case the guy at 33% landed MORE punches and was over 50% more accurate.... clean effective punching first scoring criteria! 13% and landing less than the other guy is not clean punching!! on top of that ring generalship goes to the guy who was more comfortable and implementing their plan which again was chambers, the next criteria is effective aggression and neither guy had any of that, Chambers wasn't aggressive and adameks aggression wasn't effective, lastly we go to defense and do we even need to discuss this one? chambers was blocking and slipping adameks punches all night and adamek was eating nearly every looping right eddie threw. the fight wasn't even close. Boxing's getting to the point where the aggressor weins no matter how amatuer and sloppy he is. If you throw amillion punches you win a fight i guess even if you land at an atrocious rate and the other guy outlands you. Boxers should just start windmilling and they'll win 12-0 shutouts everytime!! BS!!!
And what did you make of the fact that most ringsiders (so far) disagree with you? You, of all people, should appreciate that viewers watching on TV occasionally see a certain kind of fight very differently to those watching from ringside? I mean if a great trainer like Richardson was in the stadium and appeared to see it close for Adamek...
The only non-pollacks/jewish people in there were Chambers,his team and the commentators who had Chambers winning
I mean Nazeem Richardsom, Steve Cunningham, reporters from Ring Magazine, NJ.com, New York Daily News. You know. Everyone.
I had Adamek winning by a round. Commentary failed to take into account all the flush body punches Adamek was landing and that most of Chambers' lands were slappy arm punches. That said, more impressed with Chambers to do what he did with one hand. If this guy can stay healthy and stay in shape, really think he would have more to show for. If he can keep his body from falling apart, he would win a rematch wide.
I didn't score the fight but I came away thinking it could have gone either way. I may have tipped it to adamek.
Exactly, while it was definitely bad performance by Adamek it could easily go 115:113 (at least) either way. The rounds were difficult to score - it is hard to score a round for ineffective aggressiveness (Adamek), but I am not really convinced either that Chambers "dominated" anything by landing roughly 2 more punches per round, especially when many of those "landed" punches looked more like slapping. I am also surprised Adamek did nothing about Chambers injury. He should move to his "wrong" side where Chambers wouldn't be able to throw his right hand, and make it more like a jab/left hook battle. He (and his corner) had more than 10 full rounds to see it and readjust their strategy... instead he was playing it into Chambers' hands.
Lemme pose it this way,MC. If they fight a return, 'n Chambers has two hands, whodoya bet the farm on?
